00:00He wakes me up every single morning on the dot at 5.26 a.m.
00:05He hops on the bed and stares at me like a stalker.
00:08So every morning, Charlie forces me to go to his favorite cafe,
00:12pushes me to that direction.
00:13Sweetie, they're not open yet. It's open at seven.
00:16So I soon started to realize Charlie had these really specific quirks.
00:20Okay, okay, I'm coming. We're gonna wait together.
00:22And a specific routine.
00:24He's gonna start jumping on the counter for...
00:30He also seems to think that every drive-thru is only for him.
00:34As soon as we pull up, his face is out of the car along with his paws.
00:38He's like sticking his face out.
00:40No, no!
00:40Can I feed him or?
00:41Yeah, you can feed him. Yeah, yeah, do it, do it.
00:43Such a cutie.
00:45Oh my god, he's so happy.
00:47He starts licking his ears.
00:51The rest of the day, then I get to work.
00:54Usually when I'm working, he'll just sit next to me.
00:57He takes a toy that's the loudest possible squeakiest toy.
01:01He'll start squeaking it like there's no tomorrow.
01:06Charlie, I'm working. I can't play right now.
01:10I'm sorry, sweetie. I can't play right now.
01:14He's like a Velcro dog. He always needs to be next to me.
01:16If I shower, he is sitting next to the shower.
01:21Can I help you?
01:22Sometimes they leave my packages in the lobby, in the mail room.
01:25There was a woman there who was scared of dogs,
01:28and he was throwing a tantrum that he wasn't near me.
01:31You could see it in his face how he was getting angrier and angrier.
01:34I lost my whole routine, but my parents decided to get me a dog to cheer me up.
01:38You're walking yourself? Oh, you're walking yourself?
01:42So that companionship, it changed everything for me.
01:45My dog finds the only patch of snow and just lies in it.
01:50And just lies in it and refuses to move.
01:53It got me back to how I used to be.
01:55I had a family dog growing up. He passed away a year ago.
01:58I took it really, really badly.
01:59Charlie's routine actually is what helped me get out of my depression
02:03and get back to my day-to-day activities that I used to love doing.
02:06So he really saved me.
02:10He doesn't know where to go.
02:12Ever since I got him, my life has changed.
02:15Charlie, there's no one at the park.
02:17Healthier than ever mentally and physically.
02:20Charlie really helped me with coming to terms with losing a dog that I loved so much.
02:29I'm just at a really great place ever since I got him.
02:31And it's like, I think Cody sent him to me.
02:33He's very needy, but he also has the sweetest, most compassionate side to him.
02:45Come on.
02:47Sweetie!
02:49No!
02:51No, no, no, I didn't mean for this to happen.
02:53No, please be there.
02:54Hi, you made it!
02:55Oh my goodness, I can't believe I left you by accident, sweetie.
03:02Come in.
03:03Come on.
03:05Sweetie!
